SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The applicant requests authorization
to import two male adult captive-born
bottlenose dolphins from Dolphin Quest
in Hamilton, HM FX, Bermuda to The
Mirage Casino-Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.
The applicant requests this import for
the purpose of public display. The
receiving facility, The Mirage, is: (1)
open to the public on a regularly
scheduled basis with access that is not
limited or restricted other than by
charging for an admission fee; (2) offers
an educational program based on
professionally accepted standards; and
(3) holds an Exhibitor’s License, number
88–C–0074, issued by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture under the
Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131–59).
In addition to determining whether
the applicant meets the three public
display criteria, NMFS must determine
whether the applicant has demonstrated
that the proposed activity is humane
and does not represent any unnecessary
risks to the health and welfare of marine
mammals; that the proposed activity by
itself, or in combination with other
activities, will not likely have a
significant adverse impact on the
species or stock; and that the applicant’s
expertise, facilities, and resources are
adequate to accomplish successfully the
objectives and activities stated in the
application.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
